Great article, while I'm a software mercenary I try to help clients make ethical decisions about the software. I've also been strapped for cash in the past and needed to work for a very evil company. One of these days I'll have to be brave enough and talk about it publicly.

Thanks! If you're in the position to influence others to make ethical decisions, that's awesome.

However I don't think you should feel forced to talk about the experience at soul-sucking inc, even if you wrote the software that shreds kitties. Although if you want to share, there's probably something to learn out of it!
